Abstract

Background

Pyrophosphate (PYP) scintigraphy provides high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis (CA). There has recently been emerging interest in using 18F-sodium fluoride (NaF) for this application, yet its sensitivity has never been directly compared to that of PYP, the current molecular gold standard

Methods

Twelve subjects with ATTR-CA and 5 controls referred for PYP-SPECT were prospectively enrolled. 18F-NaF PET/CT scans were performed at 1 and 3 hours. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the images were performed, and the sensitivity of 18F-NaF PET/CT and PYP-SPECT were compared

Results

Visual interpretation of NaF PET/CT yielded a sensitivity of 0.25 (95% CI 0.089 to 0.53) for the detection of ATTR-CA, which is significantly inferior to that of PYP-SPECT/CT (100%, P = .016). Visual interpretation at 3 hours yielded a similar sensitivity of 0.30 (95% CI 0.11 to 0.60, P  = 1.00). There were no false-positive NaF PET studies. Mean target-to-background ratio (TBRmean) at 1h did not differ significantly (P = .21) in ATTR-CA subjects (0.83 ± 0.15) compared to controls (0.72 ± 0.15). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.69 ± 0.16 (95% CI 0.37 to 1.00, P = .23).

Conclusion

With qualitative and quantitative analyses, sensitivity of NaF PET/CT is significantly inferior to that of PYP-SPECT for the diagnosis of ATTR-CA

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

Mehr Cholesterin im Essen = höheres Herzinfarktrisiko

Je mehr Cholesterin man täglich über die Nahrung zu sich nimmt, desto höher ist offenbar das Herzinfarktrisiko – das legt eine Studie mit US-Veteranen zumindest für Männer nahe.

Antikoagulation bei Vorhofflimmern: Sind DOAK noch zu toppen?

Gegen Thromboembolien so wirksam wie ein DOAK, bei zugleich geringerem Blutungsrisiko – werden Faktor-XI-Hemmer als neue Antikoagulanzien dieser Erwartung gerecht? Eine aktuell publizierte Vergleichsstudie gibt darüber Aufschluss.

"Stammzell-Pflaster" gegen geschwächte Herzen: Hoffnung oder Hype?

Eine Nature-Publikation zur Behandlung der Herzinsuffizienz mit von Stammzellen abgeleiteten Herzzellen sorgt in Publikumsmedien für Wirbel. Deren Erkenntnisse sind in der Tat spektakulär – und gleichzeitig vorläufig und ernüchternd.
